Re: Elizabeth McDougald m. Soloman Bay(l)es

My great great grandfather was Solomon Bayes (Bales/Bayles).The family lived in Cumberland County NC.In 1855 that part became Harnett County NC.The actual name on the census records is Bales except for 1830 and he is listed as Solomon Botes. Later generations use Bayles.He bought his land in 1816 and remained there until his death between 1850-1860. I believe this is the Solomon in your post.
